Welcome to the forum; this is the first time I have heard about said powder, but I am all ears about how it works out. What cases are you using and what is your overall bullet length (OAL).

Welcome to the forum.

My go to powder for the 30-06 was always IMR 4350, great velocity and accuracy.

What kind of velocity are you getting with IMR 8208?

I've loaded IMR8208XBR with Sierra 165 SPBT and with Hornady 150 SST. With the 165s, it conferred no advantage over other powders; velocity and group size were not spectacular. With the 150, velocities were good, but as velocity increased, groups opened up. In my rifle, there are better powders available.

Rel 17 is the one for me. Great velocity and accuracy. imr 4064 second

I'm a real fan of IMR4350 in the 30-06! It works great for me. Good luck.

I too use either H-4350 or IMR-4350 in the .30-06 with both 150 & 180gr. Bullets.

Welcome to the forum. H4350 always did it for me.
